Tactics
I don’t want to bore you lot, and the majority won’t even read this. But, against Phelans Short’s team, I feel the game will be played and won through the wings. Hazard and Neymar are quality wingers able to cut in and shot at ease, I don’t see his half-backs being very successful against them. And there’s always Kagawa being able to provide width, by switching positions with either Hazard or Neymar. Necid’s 6’3’ frame and heading ability will be ideal as my wingers send crosses in, which will cause problems for his centre backs, especially Mussachio.
Sandro and Bender will do well in containing Hamsik and Phelan’s wingers, similar to how Bender kept Holtby out of the game earlier this season (Dortmund vs. Mainz). Both midfielders are comfortable on the ball and able to make key forward passes.
Kjear and Jones are both experienced defenders, and are strong and quick enough to keep Pato out of the game. And Kagawa engine will be key as he keeps Fellani and Sahin on their toes, pressuring them when defending, and making hidden runs when on the attack.

Tactical overview.
Well for this opening game the tactics will be quite simple, relying heavily on the pace of counter attacks, Fellaini and Sahin sitting deep and allowing us to soak up pressure, breaking up play before releasing the ball to Hamsik/wide men for rapid breaks, with crosses coming in to the box for Fellaini arriving late, Hamsik releasing through balls to Pato more centrally and the combined ability of all of them to make things happen with the ball at their feet, full backs tracking the wingers of GP's side.
